So the potential streaker has one extra step, discovering the amount of guards, before placing the bet? How does this solve the problem instead of creating even more of a plutocracy? Gaming the system will always be possible, except for a s

That's proprietary. And modern isn't an advantage in itself, unlike open-source for someone requesting open-source.

I'd recommend APL2 and the GNU APL implementation instead. The reasoning is you can follow through the excellent Ken Iverson Turing Award paper [0], and, while using non-ascii is a small upfront cost, it IMO makes array languages much

The only remotely sane points are about UX and the fact these GNU/Linux systems allow users to do stupid things if they want to. Running software from your distro's repos? That's safe, I mean, how could you use a system and n

One could argue that's in the title. I understand someone might interpret it to mean [0] but it looks more like [1] to me. Could someone better versed in english and logic please clarify what the title means? [0] treat women badly ⇒ po

It's scary how things like this can become invisible to the user. WebRTC is a great concept that could really improve decentralization, but so incredibly easy to misuse that it's absurdly irresponsible browser developers enable it

See git tag -f. Sometimes it's reasonable to consider a tag immutable, though you should always checksum if you do.

It's disheartening to see so many negatives comments about NFTs in general here but none tackling the real underlying issue with these seemingly "dumb" transactions. NFTs, as concept or protocol like ERC-721, are not complete

I think the default M-y does that and it's confusing. helm-show-kill-ring or counsel-yank-pop makes this much more manageable kind of like how undo-tree makes undoing simpler.

Not just volunteer work may be forbidden. There is also minimum wages among a large number of laws you have to abide in order to legally maintain any employee, and probably even more if they are overseas like I am. Some employers may also b

Absolutely true. I've converted more people to GNU/Linux over the last two years than in the twenty years before that. The vast majority of people in my (third world) country do not have SSDs, so GNU/Linux is their only hope
